Virtousis and Prog

[Suicide]

Which genre has a greater collection of talented musicians? I know its a pointless discussion, but I was wondering what people's opinions on the two different genres were ...

Who's better is Micheal Romeo more technically skilled as compared to Steve Vai

IS MR more musicially talented than Satch? ... I'm not too sure ... so maybe someone can enlighten me:Smokin:

It all depends on what you think is harder: writing epics or performing theory-perfect solos...I find the former much more captivating...

Steve Vai can write orchestration really.

oh and technically.. Steve Vai's "For the love of God" smacks all other guitar players away.

I still stand my by my stance (hmm a little awkward lol) that Mattias Eklundh is one of the best and THE MOST inventive guitar player of today. Anyone who could play guitar with a remote control or a dildo gets mad props in my book

Well...Romeo completely blows away both Vai and Satch...what Vai has that Romeo doesn't is showmanship. Honestly, what he plays is not the technical cream of the crop, but the flash and performance that he gives with it makes him seem better than he actually is. Don't get me wrong tho, Vai is one of the most emotive players Ive ever heard.
